Evan Grant leaves Dallas Morning News

Evan Grant, the award-winning baseball writer who covered the Rangers for the DMN, has left the paper. Grant had been shifted to Cowboys coverage in the content-sharing FUBAR with the Star-Telegram. Here's what he's doing now.

I wonder if they shifted beats on him intentionally, hoping he would leave...

Sad...

Well there is no more Rangers beat at the DMN with the FWST handling the Rangers for both papers now.

Well, that makes sense then...

My assumption is they shifted him to Cowboys, high profile beat, in hopes that he would stay.

I can never keep track how many people the DMN has on that beat. True seamheads don't want to cover anything but baseball. Some of us, (like me) were plotting our escape as soon as we started covering baseball.

Have known Evan since his days around here in Louisiana. had a hunch this might happen after my friend at FWST had told me about all of the crap going down there and the "blending" of the two papers in the metroplex.
Evan is a good guy and a good writer. Hate to hear this.
